Alice’s monthly mission: August

This time last year I was starting my first “proper adult job” and when I look back, so much has happened over the past 12 months.

But I’ve been so busy trying to get ahead, I’ve forgotten to give myself a break. This month, I’m going to change that.

I’m not very good at letting myself go. I’m a worrier, and I find it hard to relax. But after going at 100001 miles an hour, I’m starting to run out of steam.

So this month, I’m throwing caution to the wind, making plans, staying up late (and probably drinking too much!) so I can enjoy the end of summer. I’m not going abroad this year, but that doesn’t mean I can’t have a holiday.

Here’s how I’m going to enjoy myself this month-

Take it easyUsually if I don’t wake up by 8am at the weekends, I feel like I’ve wasted the day. So this month, I’m going to give myself a break.A well rested body and mind is so important, and something I’ve taken for granted recently.

Spend time with those who matterAnd, more importantly, those who make me happy. This month I want to make lasting memories, not just business contacts.

Stop worrying about moneyI’m the WORST for not doing something because “I can’t afford it”. But in reality I’m actually very good with money (if you hadn’t already realised from my eye for a good fashion bargain). And if I don’t manage to save anything this month? Well, that’s OK.
